Our Principles
Member Stories
The shortest answer to what this club is like does not come from us. It comes from the people in it. We film members at track days and bike nights and ask them three questions: how they ended up on a Ducati, what a club track day is really like, and what they would tell somebody thinking about joining.
The A group, B group, C group, doesn’t matter. The fastest guy and the slowest newcomer are all equal.
